On the dearth of Good Spring Poetry in Wisconsin

Hawthorne & Lilac

Since GP is wrestling with lawns and slides and PowerPoint, I thought I’d throw something up. Um, I meant throw something up here, which sounds a bit better. And I think I’ve identified my white-blossomed tree as a hawthorne. Turns out it’s not named Fred.

Quote du jour
Spring has returned.

The earth is like a child that knows poems.

- Ranier Maria Rilke

Question: Was Rilke influenced by the fact that he did not grow up in Wisconsin? (Will spring show up in the upper midwest, or will the seasons skip directly to humid mosquito-lovin’ summer?) Discuss.
